Sherwin Williams Resuflor WB is a coloured two pack water based epoxy floor / wall coating with excellent adhesion to concrete, wood and other surfaces providing an attractive, hard wearing dust-free finish.

Formerly known as Sherwin Williams Resuseal WB.

Best Uses

Sherwin Williams Resuflor WB is suitable as a floor curing membrane to increase hardness of concrete by allowing full hydration of cement. Suitable for application to green new concrete, 7 days after being poured (see data sheet).

Sherwin Williams Resuflor WB is also ideal for application onto all types of masonries, asphalt and wood.

• Low odour
• Silica free
• Superb adhesion
• Hard wearing
• Easy application
• Hygienic
• Solvent free

Sherwin Williams Resuflor WB is recommended as a seal for concrete in low to medium traffic indoor applications. Ideal for food industries and warehouses, as well as automotive workshops for indoor walkways, stairs, storage floors and demarcations.

Application

Preparation

New Concrete Floors: New concrete must be clean, sound, dry, fully cured and surface laitance removed by vacuum enclosed shot blasting or mechanical grinding, a minimum strength of 25N/mm² is required.

Existing Concrete Floors: Remove all dirt, oil, grease, old paint or any other surface contaminants by vacuum enclosed shot blasting, scarifying or mechanical grinding. Fats, oils or greases must be removed by mechanical means and detergent washing and making sure all residue of detergent is washed and removed by rinsing with clean water. Local repairs should be carried out using Resuflor Patch.

Existing Floors (previously coated): All previous coatings and loose floor paints must be removed by mechanical preparation as described in the above section and primed as specified. If the old resin flooring cannot be removed then please consult with our technical team for advice on intercoat adhesion and suitability, as it may not be compatible with the existing floor coating.

Where Resuflor WB is applied to masonry/concrete surfaces, care must be taken to ensure that surface preparation is thorough but does not disfigure the surface

Priming and Mixing

Open and porous substrates should be primed to enhance an even finish with top coats. Resuflor WB Clear is recommended and depending on the porosity and texture of the surface to be primed may require two coats. Resuflor WB Clear will not seal block work as it is a thin film primer.

Pre-mix the base component to a uniform consistency then add the entire contents of the hardener to the base and mix by using a slow speed hand held powered mixer and mixing paddle for approximately two to three minutes to achieve consistent mixture.

The addition clean water up to 25% by volume can be added to the mix which can aid penetration and coverage where required. In humid conditions the addition of up to 5% water by volume can aid achieving an even finish with no roller marks.

Application

Apply the whole mixed paint by using spreading rake, roller and brush to achieve the maximum coverage within the specified pot life time frame.

Slip resistance can be improved by lightly broadcasting anti slip aggregates on the first coat (after primer) whilst still wet and back rolling, at a rate of 50/100 g/m2. When cured apply the second Resuflor WB coat to secure the aggregates
